Le moulin


"Le moulin" by Yann Tiersen is a piece in the key of E minor. It is part of the soundtrack for the 2001 French film "Amélie," directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Yann Tiersen, a French musician and composer, both composed and performed the piece. "Le moulin," which translates to "The Windmill" in English, features a gentle and introspective melody played primarily on the accordion, accompanied by other instruments such as piano and strings. The song evokes a sense of nostalgia and melancholy, fitting the overall mood of the film. It has become one of Tiersen's most recognizable compositions and is beloved by fans of the movie and his music alike.
